“CAPSULE CONTAINING ONE OR MORE DRINK INGREDIENTS, METHOD OF DISPENSING A DRINK MADE FROM DRINK INGREDIENTS IN THE CAPSULE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE DRINK CAPSULE” FIELD OF THE TECHNIQUE
[0001] A beverage release capsule is described in this document and, in particular, a sealed beverage release capsule that contains one or more ingredients for beverage preparation.
FUNDAMENTALS
[0002] Single-service beverage mixing systems may have a mixing machine configured to receive a filtered capsule that contains a single serving portion of one or more beverage ingredients such as coffee or tea. The mixing machine can be configured in the passage of water heated by the capsule to form and dispense a drink therefrom. A machine can be configured to pierce the top of the capsule to inject water into the capsule, as well as to pierce the bottom of the capsule to allow the drink to escape from the capsule. The perforation of the capsules for both water injection and the exit of the drink may not be desirable for all applications.
[0003] Beverage capsules can be constructed from a variety of different materials and in a variety of different ways, not all of which lead to cost-effective production and disposal and not all of which are suitable for use in different systems of drink mix. Some beverage capsules, for example, may require complex manipulations of internal elements during assembly. Other beverage capsules may require complicated internal injection molded components. Drink capsules are also known to be made from materials that can unwantedly increase their cost.
SUMMARY
[0004] A capsule is provided containing one or more beverage ingredients where the capsule comprises a generally rigid external member with an open top and an outlet opening at the bottom with an internal filter adjacent to a
Petition 870190113584, of 11/06/2019, p. 7/57
2/12 bottom portion of the outer member, one or more beverage ingredients arranged above the filter and a lid that closes the open top. The outer member has an outer peripheral side wall which can be generally annular, which defines the open top and extends downwardly from the open top towards the bottom portion and which converges inwardly towards the outlet opening. The bottom portion of the side wall defines a plurality of ribs that extend inwardly inside the outer member towards the outlet opening. The flow paths of the beverage outlet are arranged between adjacent ribs and directed towards the outlet opening. The filter, which can be substantially flattened, is held above the outlet opening and the beverage outlet flow paths through the ribs.
[0005] For the purpose of facilitating the fixation of the filter, the side wall includes a step inward around the perimeter of it substantially coplanar with a portion of the top surface of the ribs to define a fixation surface to which the filter can be fixed, such as by using an adhesive or by welding. Although a large attachment surface can simplify attachment of the filter, if it is too large, then a larger area of the filter will be blocked, thereby decreasing the free flow area. In one aspect, the filter attached to the attachment surface has a ratio of free flow area to blocked flow area between about 3: 1 and 4: 1, more preferably between about 3.2: 1 and 3.7: 1 and even more preferably about 3.4: 1.
[0006] To increase the surface area of the filter that includes the free flow area, the filter can be in a conical configuration, which includes a truncated conical, regardless of whether it is facing up or down. This can be achieved by configuring the surface portion of the tops of the ribs to extend inwardly towards the outlet opening at an inclination such that the area of the attachment surface is greater than if the top surfaces of the ribs and the filter on it were precisely coplanar.
[0007] The bottom portion of the side wall can have a dome-shaped or semi-circular profile that can be defined at least in part by walls of
Petition 870190113584, of 11/06/2019, p. 8/57
3/12 curvilinear bottom of the outflow paths. The outflow paths can also be delimited by blunt segments of the inner side wall arranged on opposite sides of each of the back walls. These same sidewall segments can also form sidewall segments of the adjacent ribs.
[0008] The bottom portion of the side wall, including if it has a semicircular or dome-shaped profile, can be configured so that, in use, the capsule is at least partially received in a mixing compartment of a mixing device of beverage in a position to dispense a beverage where the bottom portion of the side wall is spaced from a vertical perforation element of the mixing compartment. That is, the bottom portion of the side wall does not need to be perforated to dispense a drink. In one aspect, the height of the bottom portion is between about 20% and 30% of the total height of the capsule and more preferably about 25% of the total height of the capsule. In another aspect, the outlet opening can be surrounded by substantially planar segments of the side wall. A ratio of the diameter of the substantially planar segment to a maximum side wall diameter adjacent to the beverage ingredient compartment can be between about 1: 3.7 and 1: 4.7.
[0009] The materials used to form the beverage release capsule can be selected to facilitate economical production and / or recyclability. In one aspect, the lid can be formed of a non-metallic multilayer film. By omitting the metallic layer, the cap can be removed more quickly from the outer member to empty remaining beverage ingredients after use and recycle the cap and / or the outer member. In another aspect, the outer member can be formed from a biodegradable material based on corn. In yet another aspect, the cap and / or the outer member can be formed of materials that do not have improved barrier properties. Instead, one or more capsules can be provided within the outer packaging, such as a flexible wrapper that can provide greater barrier properties compared to the barrier properties of the cap and / or outer member of the capsule.

[0010] A method of dispensing a drink made from the beverage ingredients in any of the capsules described in this document is also provided. The method includes inserting the capsule into a mixing compartment of a beverage mixing device, forming an opening in the lid, and injecting an aqueous medium into the beverage ingredient compartment of the capsule through the opening in the lid through which the aqueous medium interacts with the or more beverage ingredients to form a beverage. The method further includes filtering the beverage through the filter followed by dispensing the beverage from the beverage release capsule through the outlet opening. The method optionally includes providing the capsule with the outlet opening in an unlocked configuration prior to the step of inserting it into the mixing compartment so that a resulting drink can exit the capsule without requiring the bottom portion of the outer member to be punctured.
[0011] A method for producing any of the beverage release capsules described in this document is also provided. The method may include providing the outer member, inserting the filter into the outer member, attaching the filter to the ribs on the bottom portion of the outer member and at least substantially a peripheral portion of the side wall surrounding the ribs, depositing one or more ingredients of drink on the outer member above the filter and attach the cap to the outer member above one or more beverage ingredients to close the beverage ingredient compartment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The beverage release capsule 10 generally comprises an outer member 12 to contain one or more beverage ingredients 18, a filter 16 supported on a bottom portion of the outer member 12 and a lid 14 that closes a top portion of the outer member 12 as illustrated in whole or in part in Figures 1 to 7. In use, the beverage release capsule 10 is configured to have the lid 14 thereof perforated to form an opening through which an aqueous medium, usually water, is introduced . The one or more beverage ingredients can be, for example, ground or roasted coffee or leaf tea. Other exemplary beverage ingredients include liquid coffee, chocolate or combinations thereof. The aqueous medium mixes with one or more beverage ingredients 18 in the capsule 10 to form a beverage that is passed through the filter 16 and
Petition 870190113584, of 11/06/2019, p. 11/57
6/12 dispensed by an outlet opening 34 disposed in the bottom portion of the outer member 12.
[0020] The drink release capsule 10 of the exemplary embodiment is configured to allow dispensing the drink without requiring the outer member 12 to be punctured. Instead, the drink is allowed to flow out of the outlet opening 34 disposed in the bottom portion of the outer member 12 as shown in Figure 7. The beverage release capsule 10 of the exemplary embodiment is also configured to facilitate production, which includes providing the conical filter 16 which is held in an elevated position above the outlet opening 34. The beverage release capsule 10 of the exemplary embodiment is further configured to use low cost components that can be quickly recycled.
[0021] Turning first to the configuration of the beverage release capsule 10, the outer member 12 is generally in the shape of a rounded annular cavity as revealed in Figures 1 to 4. The outer member 12 includes an outer side wall 20 that forms a radially boundary outward of the beverage release capsule 10 as well as the bottom portion thereof. The side wall includes a peripheral flange 22 which extends radially outwardly from a top edge of an upper segment 26 of the side wall 20 as shown in Figure 1 and which surrounds an open top of the capsule 10. The peripheral flange 22 provides a surface against which the perimeter portion of the lid 14 is sealed. The diameter is reduced by an upper inward extending step 28 positioned at a lower edge of the upper segment 26 of the side wall 20. An intermediate segment 30 of the side wall 20 extends downwardly from an edge radially into the step upper 28 for an outward edge of a lower step 32. The lower step 32 is at the transition from the side wall 20 of the intermediate segment 30 to a bottom dome-shaped bottom portion 24 representing the bottom of the outer member 12.
[0022] Both the upper segment 26, intermediate segment 30 and the bottom portion 24 are tapered continuously inward, with the taper
Petition 870190113584, of 11/06/2019, p. 12/57
7/12 of the upper and intermediate segments 26 and 30 being substantially constant and the taper of the bottom portion 24 increasing, so that the diameter of the outer member 12 and therefore the capsule 10 decreases from the top to the bottom. Such a tapered configuration can facilitate the removal of the outer member 12 from a mold during forming, as well as facilitating insertion and location within a beverage machine. Steps 28 and 32 can work to increase the rim strength of the outer member 12, thereby allowing the thickness and therefore the amount of material used to form the outer member 12 to be minimized. One or both of steps 28 and 32 can also facilitate location and support during filling operations.
[0023] The bottom portion 24 of the side wall 20 of the outer member 12 includes a plurality of ribs that extend inwardly in relief 36 as shown in Figures 2 to 4. Ribs 36 surround the outlet opening 34 as revealed in Figure 4. 36 flow channels are arranged between the ribs, which define, at least in part, outflow paths through which, in use, the beverage can pass downstream through the filter 16 during the flow towards the outlet opening 34. The ribs 36 and interspaced flow channels are with reference to the inside of the outer member 12. When viewed from the outside, the ribs 36 appear to be grooves and the borders of the flow channels appear to be projected elements separated by the grooves. Although six ribs 36 and flow channels are disclosed in the figures, other numbers could be used, such as two or preferably three or more ribs and a corresponding number of flow channels.
[0024] The ribs 36 start at an edge into the lower step 32 and are each defined by a pair of inward wall segments extending inward 40 and an inward front wall 42, as shown in Figure 4 Each of the ribs 36 also has a substantially planar top surface 44. The top surfaces 44 of the ribs 36 are substantially coplanar with the surface facing inwards from the lower step 32 so that the surface facing inwards from the bottom step 32
Petition 870190113584, of 11/06/2019, p. 13/57
8/12 forms a ring around the ribs 36 for purposes that will be described below. [0025] The flow channels also start at the edge into the lower step 32 and are each delimited at the bottom by a curved bottom wall 38 and on the sides of them by the same side wall segments 40 that define ribs adjacent 36. The function of the curvilinear bottom walls 38 to guide the beverage passing through the filter towards the outlet opening 34 is in a generally smooth manner, for example, free of obstructions or changes in the direction of flow. The flow channels are each directed to a common space arranged around the outlet opening 34 where flows can collide and combine to form one or more beverage streams that exit outlet outlet 34 as shown in Figure 7. Some of the curvilinear bottom walls 38 combine to provide the dome-shaped appearance of the bottom portion 24 of the side wall 20 of the outer member 12, such as when viewed in side profile as shown in Figure 1.
[0026] The inwardly facing surface of the lower step 32 and the top surfaces 44 of the ribs 36 cooperate to form a substantially flat surface to which the filter 16 can be adhered. At least part of the substantially flat surface acts as a fixing surface which is the portion to which the filter 16 is attached in a manner that prevents flow through the filter on the fixing surface. Adhesion can be achieved by using an adhesive, welding or other suitable ways of fixing. The attachment to the surface facing into the lower step 32 is preferably substantially continuous and more preferably completely continuous, so that most, if not all, of the drink has to pass through the filter 16 before leaving the outlet opening 34 The top surfaces 44 of the ribs 36 can help to hold the filter 16 in an elevated position above the outlet opening 34 to provide a sufficiently dispersed filter area 16 so that the beverage passes over more of the unattached filter surface area 16 as opposed to being highly concentrated in a region immediately above or adjacent to the outlet opening 34 as it could result if the filter was not supported into the lower step 32.

However, the attachment surface may block fluid flow through the immediately adjacent portion of the filter 16. This attachment surface is preferably minimized to a degree that the vast majority of the surface area of the filter 16 remains free, that is, unlocked by the fixing surface, while still providing enough support to keep the filter 16 in its elevated position during pressurization and filtering during the dispensing of a drink. In a preferred embodiment, filter 16 has a ratio of free flow area to blocked flow area between about 3: 1 and 4: 1, more preferably between about 3.2: 1 and 3.7: 1 and still more preferably about 3.4: 1. A larger unblocked surface area can result in reduced pressure requirements to force the drink through the filter.
[0027] In order to increase the unlocked surface area of the filter 16, the filter 16 can be in a conical arrangement. That is, the central portion of the filter 16 is not precisely coplanar with its external perimeter, but it can be conical, which includes a truncated conical shape. For example, the filter 16 can have an angle of inclination towards the central portion of it between about 10 to 15 or 20 degrees, more preferably between about 20 and 40 degrees and, in an exemplary embodiment, even more preferably about 30 degrees. The filter 16 could be less than the diameter of the filter. For example, a tilt angle of 30 degrees on a filter that has a diameter of 37 mm can increase the total area of filter 16 from 1,007 mm ² , if precisely planar, to 1,165 mm ² . Although the conical shape can be directed, either upwards or downwards, to increase the surface area, it is preferred that the conical shape of the filter 16 is directed downwards towards the outlet opening 34. The filter could alternatively be substantially planar .
[0028] To obtain the conical shape of the filter 16, the top surfaces 44 of the ribs 36 can be slightly inclined, either upwards or downwards, in the same or in general at the same angle of inclination as is desired for the filter 16 In addition, the top surfaces 44 of the ribs 36 can be tapered inward or narrowed in a way that has less lift or
Petition 870190113584, of 11/06/2019, p. 15/57
10/12 blocked filter surface 16 towards the central portion of the filter, which is where the drink will tend to come out.
[0029] Turning now to the details of the material and construction of the components of the beverage release capsule 10, the outer member 12 in the exemplary embodiment is of generally rigid, thin walled construction. By generally rigid, it is understood that the structure has the capacity, in general, to retain its shape during normal handling and, if deformed, it will understand to return to return to its original shape. The outer member 12 is preferably formed from a biodegradable polymer material such as a corn-based material. Suitable materials include biodegradable polyethylene (eg SPITSK supplied by Symphony Environmental, Borehamwood, UK), biodegradable polyester amide (eg BAK 1095 supplied by Symphony Environmental), poly lactic acids (PLA supplied by Cargill, Minn., USA ), starch-based polymers, cellulose derivatives and polypeptides.
[0030] Filter 16 is preferably made from a material with a high resistance to moisture, for example, a non-textile polyester fiber material. Other materials that can be used include a water-impermeable cellulosic material such as a cellulosic material that comprises textile paper fibers. Textile paper fibers can be mixed with polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and / or polyethylene fibers. The incorporation of these plastic materials in the cellulosic material makes the cellulosic material heat sealable to the surface portions 44 of the ribs 36 and to the surface facing into the lower step 32. The filter 16 can also be treated with or coated with a material that is activated by heat and / or pressure so that it can be sealed to the fixing surfaces.
[0031] The lid 14 is preferably a multilayer film made from one or more layers of polypropylene (PP) or filled with polypropylene and a layer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In one example, cap 14 can have the following layers: PP (about 25 microns), filled with PP (about 60 microns), PP (about 25 microns) and PET (about 23 microns). Preferably, although not necessarily, cap 14 is free of layers
Petition 870190113584, of 11/06/2019, p. 16/57
11/12 metallic as a layer of aluminum foil. This can allow the cover 14 to be removed more quickly from the fixation to the flange 22 of the side wall 20 of the outer member 12 without leaving metallic residues behind. This can allow the cap 14 to be removed from the outer member 12 after use, the contents emptied or otherwise removed, and the outer member 12 is ready to be recycled.
[0032] Both the cap 14 and the outer member 12 may not have traditional barrier layers. The elimination of barrier layers can reduce component costs. To provide the barrier properties for proper shelf life of beverage release capsules 10, the outer packaging for one or groups of two or more of the capsules 10 can be provided, such as an outer wrapper, which can be in the form of a film wrapped continuously.
[0033] The beverage release capsule 10 can be configured for use in a beverage mixing device that has a mixing compartment 100 defined by an outer wall 104 as shown in Figure 7. The peripheral flange 22 of the outer member 12 of the capsule 10 can be supported on an upper part 102 of the outer wall 104 of the mixing compartment 100. The capsule 10 can be configured so that it is not pierced by a bottom piercing member 110 of a bottom wall 106 of the compartment 100 when completely inserted to a degree sufficient for mixing. The outlet opening 34 of the bottom part 24 of the side wall 20 of the outer member 12 is preferably open, for example, it does not require drilling. Although it can be completely opened, it can also be closed initially, such as with a label that can be removed before insertion into the mixing compartment 100 or a dissolvable toggle arranged in the capsule 10 to block the outlet opening 34 until it is opened. dissolved by dispensing the drink, heat or other non-mechanical factors present.
[0034] A method of dispensing a drink made from the beverage ingredients in any of the capsules described in this document as well
Petition 870190113584, of 11/06/2019, p. 17/57
12/12 is provided. The method includes inserting the capsule 10 into a mixing compartment 100 of a beverage mixing device, forming an opening in the lid 14, such as by using an inlet punch 112, and injecting an aqueous medium into the beverage ingredient compartment of the capsule 10 through the opening in the lid 14 and the inlet punch 112, through which the aqueous medium interacts with one or more beverage ingredients 18 to form a beverage. The method further includes filtering the beverage through the filter 16 followed by dispensing the beverage from the beverage release capsule 16 through the outlet opening 34 and into the mixing compartment 100 and from the mixing compartment 100 through an outlet 108 thereof. The method optionally includes providing the capsule 10 with an outlet opening 34 in an unlocked configuration prior to the step of inserting it into the mixing compartment 100 so that a resulting beverage can exit the capsule 10 without requiring the bottom portion of the external member 12 is perforated, such as by a perforator 110 associated with the bottom 106 of the mixing compartment 100.
[0035] A method for producing any of the beverage release capsules 10 described in this document is also provided. The method may include providing the outer member 12, inserting the filter 16 into the outer member 12, attaching the filter 16 to the ribs 36 on the bottom portion of the outer member and at least substantially to a peripheral portion of the surface facing the lower step 32 surrounding the ribs 36, deposit the one or more beverage ingredients 18 on the outer member 12 above the filter 16 and secure the lid 14 to the outer member 12 above the one or more beverage ingredients 18 to close the beverage ingredient compartment.
[0036] From the above, it will be appreciated that beverage release capsules, methods for use and methods for manufacturing are provided. However, numerous modifications and variations can be made to them by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the description in this document and as presented in the claims.
